Finding Balance


Potty training is going SO-SO, we are nearly in the clear.
My kids usually take a few months to perfect their skills on the old pot,
but she filled in her sticker chart a few weeks ago and her prize was this new bike!

Gracie was so excited for it and she loved the idea of it right from the start, but after a few tries on it she became frustrated and decided there was something wrong with it.  While she was attempting to fix the problem big man Cayden came over to inspect and promptly snatched that shinny new bike for himself.   That, of course, led to a scuffle and some tears and me trying to have them share, so that evening I ordered a RED one for the little man.

A month later and we are loving these magic bikes.  Cayden is constantly asking for his and Gracie is really getting the hang of it.  From the way she started out with it I thought she'd be too timid to really get into the balancing of it but I was wrong, she's a crazy woman.  Cayden still has no fear and loves that he can push his bike up and down any obstacle he chooses.  In the evenings we like to go to Adam's warehouse and ride in the parking lot.  Adam usually convinces me to help him with some project and the kids zoom around us, dirty and smiling.

Those bikes looks awesome. We have been talking about getting one for Edward. I think he would love it.
